Once upon a time, a saint fell for a sinner…
Saint Severo is the most revered fixer in Nefari city. She's the woman the rulers call when a problem needs to disappear.
Marlowe Reign is the assassin she loved. The one she exiled fifty years ago to keep her alive.
When the Capas are found slaughtered in their own fortress, the city edges towards war. There's no heir. No order.
And the killer? None other than Saint's ex-lover.
Saint needs a confession. Marlowe wants to hang.
Neither are saying why.
Three days in a dungeon torturing the woman who still tastes like everything she lost will break anyone's willpower.
But Marlowe didn't do it and she won't deny it either.
Someone far bigger than them both is pulling the strings.
The last thing Saint wants is to fall for the woman she has to execute… but the body remembers what the heart tried to bury.
To save her, Saint must betray everything she's served.To love her, she'll have to let the world burn.
To keep her secret, one of them has to die.
A confession. A reckoning. And a debt that can only be paid in blood.
A deliciously dark sapphic mafia romantasy with captor-x-captive, second-chance love, a fae assassin, a vampire fixer, murdered royals, and a whole lot of "I'm the only one who gets to torture the truth out of her." 18+ only.
